Chapter 161: Chapter 156: Uninvited Guest (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

When Luo Chun was outside with her child, Fang Pingying squatted down with a smile and teased her own child, also greeting Luo Chun with a smile, "Why are you having a meal so late, it’s almost noon."

"I and the child’s father have eaten, it’s this little guy who said he was hungry and clamored for food, so I’m feeding him." Luo Chun looked enviously at Fang Pingying’s clothes and then asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you going out?"

Fang Pingying nodded, "Yes, my younger sister is coming from our hometown today, we’re going to pick her up in the city."

Hearing this, Luo Chun immediately stood up from her stool and said to Fang Pingying, "That’s perfect, sister-in-law, could you bring some things back from the city for me?"

"What things?"

Luo Chun pointed at the clothes Fang Pingying was wearing, "The same kind of yarn you’re wearing, I want to buy two kilograms to knit sweaters for my child."

"Sure, you want the same kind, also two kilograms?" Fang Ping immediately agreed to such a small matter.

Luo Chun thought for a bit and then agreed, "Yes, the same kind, two kilograms."

"What color do you want?"

"I want one kilogram of yellow and one kilogram of blue, one kilogram of each color, I’ll knit him a set of each color."

Fang Pingying saw that she was very clear, and previously when she bought yarn back, Luo Chun indeed had seen and commented that the yarn was good and cheap.

She felt it was okay to help with the purchasing, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I’ll bring it back for you tonight."

Luo Chun nodded, just about to agree, then Zhang Wei, who was inside the house, called out, "Chun’er, if you’re asking sister-in-law to buy things, give her the money."

Luo Chun seemed to just remember about the money, quickly pretending to head inside, "Right, sister-in-law, wait a moment, I’ll get you the money."

Fang Pingying knew that Luo Chun might originally have planned to pay after she brought back the goods, indicating a mindset of seeing the goods before paying, showing an inherent distrust despite asking for a favor.

Despite this, Fang Pingying wanted to ease her worry, so she smiled back, "No rush, I’m in a hurry too, just give me the money when you get back."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chun immediately agreed, "Okay, I’ll give you the money when I get back."

After Fang Pingying left, Luo Chun watched her figure for a long time and then went inside, looking envious she said to Zhang Wei, "Didn’t you say Battalion Commander Luo’s family isn’t that great? Why do I feel like his wife’s attire and everything seems top-notch, looking quite different from us who came out from the countryside."

"Don’t be envious of others, didn’t you hear that sister-in-law was recently discussing some business matters with Juzi? If she can earn her own money, naturally she can dress well. If you had that ability, you could too." Zhang Wei looked at Luo Chun with a slightly impatient frown,

"Plus, you’ve said it yourself; she does everything with her own hands, didn’t spend much money buying, so it’s not really anything fancy."

With this, Luo Chun had nothing to say.

Each time Fang Pingying bought fabrics and yarn, they all gathered together to look; to discuss those things indeed weren’t luxury items. If they really scrimped, they could save up too, but unfortunately, she wasn’t as capable. Not only could she make clothes and knit sweaters, but she could also make a lot of tasty snacks.

They themselves couldn’t make such things, so buying those materials would be useless, naturally they couldn’t compare.

However, hearing about Fang Pingying doing business, Luo Chun became curious, "I wonder what business she’s doing; if they need people to work, I wish I could help out too."

She has tried to indirectly pry information from Fang Pingying and Xiao Juzi several times, but both of them kept their lips sealed tightly and refused to reveal anything.

Zhang Wei saw her considering getting into the business of hiring people again and sighed helplessly, advising her, "Stop daydreaming. Even if someone needed help, you can’t leave. If you go, what about the children at home?"

"That’s true." Though she said this, Luo Chun still thought to herself that maybe when Fang Pingying returned, she could ask her directly. If she could go work, she could figure out a solution for the children.

With the money, she could dress whatever she wanted like Fang Pingying, buy whatever she desired, and others in the courtyard would admire her too.

After all said and done, Luo Chun was still envious of how well Fang Pingying was living and wanted a part of that vanity for herself.

Zhang Wei knew Luo Chun hadn’t truly let go of the idea and feared she might act rashly without realizing the consequences.

He specifically called Luo Chun into the house, looked at her sternly, and said, "Chun’er, don’t be shallow by just envying others. Our life now is much better than before when we were at home, and our salary has increased recently. We can manage. If you want to buy something and it’s not too expensive, just buy it. Don’t always think about taking advantage of others."

"I understand." Seeing Zhang Wei being serious, Luo Chun didn’t dare say more and nodded in agreement.

Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong walked around the specialized furniture market for quite a while but didn’t settle on any particular sofa.

There were so many styles of wooden sofas available that it was dazzling, and each design seemed appealing.

As they walked, Luo Zhiyong checked his watch and realized it was already past one in the afternoon. He hurried Fang Pingying, "Choose quickly, or we won’t make it in time to pick up Luo Honglan."

Fang Pingying nodded and chose one that was relatively cheaper and also very simply made.

However, it was also quite convenient. When opened, it was about 1.2 meters wide and 1.8 meters long, more than enough for Luo Honglan to sleep on alone.

When folded, it turned into a small sofa that could seat three or four people. The price was also reasonable, and it even came with a simple wooden tea table.

Moreover, the owner was nice and offered to deliver it to their home today.

Thus, Fang Pingying decided on this one and even paid a deposit, saying they would come back later.

It was perfect timing as they could ride back to the military base in the delivery vehicle after picking up Luo Honglan.

After buying the sofa, the pair casually bought some snacks, and by the time it was past two, they went to the train station to pick up Luo Honglan.

They waited at the exit for over half an hour and then heard from the announcement that the train had arrived.

Searching through the crowd, unexpectedly, the first person they saw wasn’t Luo Honglan, but Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu spotted them from afar and shouted loudly, "Big brother, big sister, we are over here!"

Following that, they saw Luo Honglan trailing behind Fang Xiu carrying a lot of stuff, while Fang Xiu was only holding a small bag.

Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong hadn’t anticipated Fang Xiu’s arrival. After exchanging looks, Fang Pingying also waved in that direction.

As the two approached, Luo Honglan put down her belongings and joyfully linked arms with Fang Pingying, exclaiming, "Big brother, sister-in-law."

Then Fang Xiu squeezed through and cheerfully called out to Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong, "Big sister, Big brother."(To be continued.
